Stone pillars and ruins. Amosta narrowed his eyes, his eyes darkening.

That's a really interesting thing.

In the center of Avalon Island, the ancient and magnificent temple full of Greek style, when Amosta saw it, he quickly judged that it was not the original building on the island, but most likely moved by Merlin from somewhere else.

But why did Merlin do that?

Amosta lowered his eyes, and his condensed gaze fell on the cover of the album, judging from the information he had now, it was very likely to be related to the Twin Snake Staff.

According to the nine murals in the center of the island, Morgan Le Fay and the black shadow in his body had intended to throw the double snake staff in an unknown direction when they were defeated by Merlin and King Arthur

"Why didn't Merlin take the Twin Serpent Staffs and uproot the temple instead?"

Far from the city of London, Grimmauld Place had been left in desolation after the morning rush hour for Muggles to work, and the huge chasm that Amosta had created in the middle of the square had been repaired by the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters of the Ministry of Magic, and it was now a green lawn. A few sparrows on the telephone pole fluttered their wings and landed on the lawn, aimlessly pecking at the grass roots.

"Unless--"

Amosta muttered in a voice that could only be heard by himself,

"Unless Merlin can't pick up the scepter"

Godric Gryffindor, one of the Hogwarts Four, couldn't pick up the Two Serpent Staffs, as did Merlin, who had almost become a mythical figure, and Amosta couldn't be proud of the fact that he was able to pick it up himself.

He has never forgotten what happened in early November, when Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were playing Quidditch.

Attracted by the joy of the young wizards, the Dementors guarding the school gate lost control, and they swarmed into the schoolyard in an attempt to drain the young wizards' happiness, and in order to chase them away, Amosta used the Patronus Charm on the Dementors for the first time, and what happened next is needless to say.

According to Dumbledore, the Patronus Charm's mutation was due to a soul-level effect, and when the Patronus was cast, something in his soul that was not his own resonated with the Dementors, causing those changes to occur.

Stone Pillars—Temples—Ruins—Dementors—Twin Serpent Staffs--

This seemingly unrelated series of things is actually deeply connected, and at the heart of all the secrets is the dark shadow in Morgan Le Fay's body.

Ever since he had seen the nine frescoes in the temple, Amosta had been wondering.

At the end of the world-shattering battle that wreaked havoc on the magical environment more than a decade ago, Morgan Le Fay and the dark shadow in her body had already lost, and she and it should have known that Merlin had no reason to show mercy, so why did she go to great lengths to hide the Scepter?

What does that double snake staff really mean? What does it mean to be able to pick it up yourself? Why did the Hogwarts Big Four get involved in this matter a thousand years ago, and so deliberately leave a revelation?

"Amosta?"

After a while, Sirius finally got rid of the bad mood that the memories had brought him, and when he looked up, he saw Amosta's expression, and his eyes were still puzzled and confused.

"Is there anything wrong with this pillar, you wonder why the pillars that exist in Azkaban are exactly the same as Muggle attractions?"

"Oh-"

Amosta suddenly came back to his senses and smiled at Sirius who was watching with concern, but did not answer his question, which made Sirius realize that this was not so simple, and that the broken pillar on Azkaban Island might be hiding some terrible secret.

But that stone pillar has been there for so many years, and the Ministry of Magic, which has always controlled the Dementors, has not studied it, and the final conclusion must be that the stone pillar is worthless, otherwise they would have pulled it out and brought it back to study it carefully.

Because of Amosta's attitude, Sirius looked at the cover of the album in his hand again, and this was, Amosta suddenly asked,

"The stone pillars in the ruins, hmm. Have you looked at it closely. I mean, is there anything about it that looks special? ”

Looks special?

This question turned Sirius upside down, during his years in Azkaban, he had suffered from regret and hatred, and every day he lived was a great torment for him, how could he be in the mood to study the special functions of an ordinary stone pillar, and besides, those Dementors—

Dementors!

Sirius's eyes widened with a look of surprise and uncertainty, and at the sight of his appearance, Amosta immediately knew that something was wrong.

"What, what do you remember?"

Amosta asked in a deep voice.

"I'm not sure,"

Sirius hesitated, as if he wasn't completely sure of what he was saying,

"There are at least a few hundred Dementors on that island where Azkaban is, and those disgusting creatures don't stay in prison all day. In that case, there would probably be every living person in the tower, and most of the Dementors would be out there for many of the time, only when they were hungry. Take turns eating

The Dementors made the island look like the end of the world, they roamed around the island in case a daring wizard sneaked into the island from the sea, and the sky was black and gray, but. Well, I'm not sure, Amosta, but in our image, they don't seem to be happy to come near that pillar, I mean, when the ruins and pillars emerge from the tide--"

Amosta nodded, then fell silent.

Sirius was also quiet, he knew that Amosta might have some secrets, of course, that person had no secrets in his heart, but the secrets that the young wizard knew were probably very remarkable, and he also guessed what Amosta might say next.

For this, Sirius fell into a fierce struggle inside.

Azkaban was definitely a nightmare that all wizards in the wizarding world of England did not want to face, he had been there for so many years, and he knew that the reputation of that prison was worthy of its prestige, and how many sin wizards had escaped from it, and he would not want to talk to anyone about life there for the rest of his life.

Sirius wasn't stupid, he saw Amosta's hesitation, and after a soft sigh, Sirius whispered,

"You want to sneak into Azkaban to see the pillar, do you?"

Without waiting for Amosta to respond, he continued,

"To tell you the truth, I don't remember exactly where it was, after I escaped from there, I swam all the way north in the direction of the mainland, and it was at least twenty days before I saw land, and I would not have been able to hold on if it had not been for the belief that I had sought revenge on Peter.

But if that pillar is really important to you, Amosta, I can go with you to see it, and I can probably still tell the direction by the position of the stars."

"Just take me to where you come ashore and show me the way--"

Now that Sirius has been directly pierced, Amosta is no longer hidden,

"Azkaban is not a pleasant paradise for you, Sirius, you don't have to risk it with me."

"You helped me get Regulus, Amosta, and it's worth my life--"

Sirius smiled and said,

"And, if you can, I want you to treat the island the same way you did with the cave last night, and trust me, there will be plenty of wizards who will be happy to see Azkaban and the hellish things guarding it sink into the sea together!"
